Output Preferences question

[jlangloi]

Hi. I have just tried to convert one set of music files (.aif) to AAC files. I ended up with MP3 files. Since I believe I'm using default settings, what do I need to change in the Max prefs to maki it so? Thanks, JL

Open the Preferences, and choose the Formats button in the toolbar. Uncheck the "MP3" checkbox, then click on the "Core Audio" tab. Scroll down and select the first "MPEG4 Audio" in the left pane. In the right pane select "AAC" and then click the "Add Format" button.

You can adjust the encoder parameters in the bottom section of the window.
